Congrats on doing a whole year of posts. I'm impressed so many people managed that.

I think it's great to build good habits, but I've decided I don't need the pressure of keeping up a 'streak'. I have a long one on Duolingo, but I can still skip some days when I have 'freezes' stored up.

I am motivated by things I enjoy, but still need to push myself to get on with them. Of course getting rewards on Hive is an extra incentive, but I am at a stage where I do okay anyway. I want to see lots more people get that benefit and so I think this year needs to include some recruitment. If we can each bring in a couple more people it will make a difference.

Have a great year!

I think recruitment will be far easier this year, and next year with the upcoming Bull run. I've been seeing a hell of a lot of Crypto-centric content, which has a focus on projects, and coins to invest in, so I think Hive will and should be a big part of that. TikTok seems to be a good outlet to discuss these things, so putting some emphasis on that platform may help. I know X has a lot of community members posting, and replying to people, so that surely will help too.

On a personal level, I think discussing Hive with friends and family is a great way to at least get people to know about it, even if they don't immediately join. Over the last two years I've spoken to everyone about the place and so far have brought my sister, mum, two friends from the cover band, and a mate of mine, who then got his partner. Of all of the people I've brought in my mate is the only one who posted the most. My sister makes YouTube videos, and I'm trying to get her to publish them on 3Speak, because some of them are really good, and it might be a way to get her to see it as a viable option and another place to post her stuff, she hasn't yet though, but I'm still encouraging her. My uncle and cousin have a YT channel too, and they make model/ historical videos, and I've been telling them about Hive and 3Speak too. I think being able to earn a few bob through posting on 3Speak would be great for small channels on YT who don't earn anything yet, and it could be a great way to encourage them to keep making videos and posting.

I don't use TikTok and am not on other platforms much. I just have some friends on FB.

I don't see an issue with people posting YT videos on Hive as that's easy. They just need to add some text and respond to any comments. We need to build a network of people who share interests.

My kids have accounts, but don't use them so I set them up with some delegation so they can earn from curation. I just don't know too many people who are creating a lot of online content. At least most of my band have accounts, but they are not too active here.

Of course man, it's better to get people here who will not only post their content but also respond and actually integrate into the Hive community. I found after joining here that it's very different than other social media platforms because it feels more like we're all a part of the same team, unlike something like Instagram, Facebook, YT, X, or TikTok. There's much more community spirit, and I think getting people here, and into some Discord servers would be a good way of letting them discover it.

I do agree with the thing I heard off Wes when I first joined Hive and the terminal, he said "I came for the money, and stayed for the community." It's so true, and I think anyone who actually joined here would feel that same way. I've always admitted that the idea of getting paid for blogging was the reason I joined and started writing, but as the weeks went on and I got to meet people, that idea totally changed.

The audience here is tiny, but they may be more engaged than on other platforms. It could be different when we have millions, but that's a long way off.

Yeah, it's a small audience, but maybe for video makers, it would be easier to accumulate a following since there isn't a hell of a lot of competition to compete with.

A few months ago Leo got 250k to onboard people and market Hive, has that come to fruition yet do you know? I haven't heard much about it.

I know there was some talk about an onboarding campaign, but I've not seen details of whether it worked.
